Krill oil brand recommendation

Hello,

I am switching my mom from fish oil to krill oil as I have read it is safer (Dr Mercola). She doesn't eat fish so feels she needs to supplement. I worry about the fact that omega 3 supplements can be rancid. Anyone have any recommendations?

If you are taking an omega 3 supplement, it is probably at least partially rancid before you take it. If you do take it, it almost certainly oxidizes inside you. You couldn't pay me to take omega 3 supplements. If you think soybean oil is prone to rancidity, you haven't looked into EPA and DHA. They make soybean oil look like coconut oil in terms of resistance to oxidation.

If you read my original post I said she doesn't eat fish and that I understand fish oil supplements can be rancid and that's why Dr Mercola said krill oil is safer. So no fish and no supplement then? It's not about me... I eat fish and don't supplement omega 3.

I did read your original post. I'm simply stating that no omega 3 supplementation is superior IMO. Krill might be better than fish, but my position is that nothing is better than krill and to save your money and energy.

Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.

ChocoTaco's semi coherent message is they are about the same... Fish oil vs krill oil...which ever brand you trust to be fresher etc...eating the actual oily fish would be best. You might be better off working on getting them to eat actual fish...otherwise a toss up.
